Item Description

An exceptionally rare 1889 transpacific postal cover from the Cutting Fruit Packing Co., sent from San Francisco, California, to Hong Kong, China, addressed to Messrs Melchers & Co., a well-known German trading firm operating in China during the 19th century.

This cover is franked with a 1-cent U.S. postal stationery indicium featuring Benjamin Franklin, canceled with a clear San Francisco postmark dated June 12, 1889. The envelope features distinct company handstamps, including “CITY OF PEKIN”, hinting at a trade relationship possibly involving fruit exports or other goods moving between the U.S. and Asia.

Key Features:
✅ Authentic 1889 U.S. postal stationery envelope
✅ Sent from San Francisco to Hong Kong during the height of transpacific trade
✅ Historical business connection between Cutting Fruit Packing Co. and Melchers & Co.
✅ 1-cent Benjamin Franklin postal stationery imprint
✅ San Francisco cancellation dated June 12, 1889
✅ Company markings, including "CITY OF PEKIN" and "Cutting Fruit Packing Co."

This is an outstanding artifact from 19th-century global trade, reflecting the expansion of American commerce into Asia. A perfect addition for collectors of transpacific postal history, U.S.-China trade, or 19th-century business correspondence.
